COMPLETE QUESTION: What are some others pronouns that you can use if somebody doesn't want to go by they/them should i use their name instead? sorry if this is confusing
The best thing you can do in any situation is ask the person you’re talking to or about what pronouns they use. This also goes for cisgender people and those who pass as the binary genders! Get in the habit of introducing yourself with your pronouns and asking people theirs when you meet them. Popular alternatives to they/them/theirs, she/her/hers, or he/him/his are zie/zim/zir and e(y)/em/eir. There are so many other pronouns someone might use and the attached photo has a great chart that includes a few more from the LGBTQ+ Resource Center of the University of Wisconsin’s website!
